Tuesday, May 10th, the date of the
Republican love feast in Claremore,
was a great day. The weather was
fine and the crowd afternoon and
night were both large. At the after-
noon meeting there were about seven
hundred and fifty, and at night,
near four hundred and fifty. Promi-
nent republicans from all over the
Third Congressionnal district were
present-
The meeting in the afternoon was
called to order by A. A. Dennlson,
•tate committeeman, and Walter W.
Shaw was made chairman of the meet
lng. Mr. Shaw delivered a few very
appropriate remarks as an opener and
I welcomed the visitors to the city.
Mr. Sfaaw very clearly demonstrated
to the large crowd that when it
comes to oratory he does not need
to take a back seat even for govern-
or candidates. The first speaker of
tne morning was Ex-Governor T. B.
Ferguson, of Watonga, candidate for
governor. Mr. Ferguson's address was
masterly, and he talked straight bus-
iness. Portions of his address follow:
Government la public sentiment cry-
stallized Into law. Government will
never t« better than the political
fountain from which it emanates. The
people win never have better govern
ment than they demand, for thf y are
responsible In a government where
popular sovereignity controls. All
the people want clean politics and
good government. The essential
elements in good government are hon-
conscience and capability. The
paramount issue in Oklahoma is de-
cent methods in state government.

taxes Were paid, had f!J7li,357.t 7 to
use for running expense* The com-
parison shows gross extravagance in
running the state gaveriiineni.
The Republicans, under the Terri-
tory, conducted the school luncl office
at a cost of from #32.000 to latl.noii
per annum. The state in running
that office up to February, imo
apeiit 9830.000.The Republicans under
the Terrltorlty paid lu salaries in the
school land offlci? from |l«,o o to lis-
000 per annum. The staf adniluls-
trat on for doing practically ihc saun
work has been paying |7:'.0i)0 p< r an
num in salaries. The constitution
provides that the itato debt shall
never exceed MOO.OOO. On the 30th
of November, 1009, the bonded Indebt
odness of the state was 11.400,000 and
the warrant Indebtedness was $1,015-
-62.G1, with over 4.QOO.OOO unused ap-
propriations, yet against which war-
rants are to be drawn- The above fig
urea are from the records. They can
not be contradicted. They reveal a
serious condition, of things, und pro-
sent strong argument against using
the state administration to run n
political machine and serve the pur-
pose of personal expediency on the
part of politicians. The state admin.
istratlon has constantly attempted to
violate the referendum provisions of
the constitution.
Following Mr. Ferguson Congress-
man C. E. Creager made a talk and
told some of the conditions existing
•t washington, also relieved many
of the people's minds on how he
stood on the tariff question and oth-
er propositions. The crowd listened
very attentively to Mr. Creager. and
gave him very vigorous applause.
There seemed to be no doubt that
the crowd is with Mr Creager. and
that he will receive the nomination
to succeed himself without any diffi-
cult esdeavor. He said he believes
l tm principles of the republican
party as revised and brought down
Jo date. He felt repaid for his long
trip hore from Washington to attend
this meeting from the enthusiasm
and interest shown in the meetl #
He could go back to Washington feel-
inug that his district is safely repub-
lican. Mr. Creager said he did not
care and did not think he had the
authority to read any Republican out
of the party; neither would he allow
any one to read him out of the party
He said 'tis true that the Republican
party is facing a crisis, but It would
meet it- The republican party is a
party that is used to meeting crices,
in ^fact. it is their long suit The
party was conceived in a crisis, and
it faced It and met it. It has always
been meeting them, and the only
thing the democrat party has ever lng'to force a
done since 1860 is to create crises for the Bryan law

democratic party is no longer strong
enough to furnish the Republicans a
good fight, so. like a victorious foot
ball team the party must needs have
two teams and practice with each
other, in ordep to keep tffe working
faculties of all in good operative
shape so they can meet the contest.
Then the best from both teams Is se-
lected and put out and always goes
to victory. The great bugbear of the
democrat party is Cannonism. Asked
why Is the cost of living high, they
will answer, "Cannonism." Why is
a wild cat wild? Cannonism, and so
on. The Republicans are having
only one of those little practice
games. We're practicing for the big
fight this fall.
Call yourself what you will, insur-
gent or regular; but still be a repub-
lican. The speaker declared he was
not an insurgent, nor a stand patter
but a republican, and the entire party
is progressive in its actions. In re-
gard to his position in Washington,
he pleads guilty to being tied. He
was tied first by the republican vot-
ers of the Third district of Oklahoma
°° 1908, next in November,
1908. The next tie was when he went
l a caucus with a majority of the
*publicah members of Congress, and
is tied by that caucus to work for
le success of what the majority of
iiii party thought to the best interest
bis country and their constituency
le is not tied to the tail of any
iemocratlc kite. Mr. Creager also
touched on the tariff law and said
while some had said it the best that
had ever been written, and some the
best that could be written, he disa
greed wtth them, but he did think
If he bad written It he could have
made one to auit him better. It was
the best that could be obtained
